US aid freeze forces Malawi university students out of schools

Public universities in Malawi have ordered all students sponsored by USAID to drop out or seek other sources of funding if they want to remain in school. This follows the 90-day freeze on U.S. foreign assistance recently announced by President Donald Trump. Malawi’s government is attempting to ensure that students continue their education, but universities have warned they cannot support the students on their own. Lameck Masina reports from Blantyre.
